Make your classroom interesting by teaching or assessing through tasks. Deepen the understanding of Geometry and motivate young mathematicians. The task uses investigation with tennis balls and their container to prompt learners to...

Young scholars calculate the height of a tree or flagpole. They measure the shadow of the tree or flagpole and the length of a shadow of a meterstick. Using similar triangles, calculate the heigh. Devise two additional ways in which to...

Fourth graders explore ordering whole numbers through the millions place through a P.E. game on the playground. In small groups they form numbers while standing in hula hoops, telling the teacher what number was made by the combination...

Students take a closer look at sports science. In this hands-on learning lesson, students may visit the Science Museum, the Life Science Centre, or the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum online or in-person to discover details related to the...

Students capture the serve motion of a tennis player with a digital or video camera. Using transparencies or a software package, analyze the speed, acceleration, displacement and time of the racquet head and ball in the tennis stroke.

Young scholars investigate the concepts and relationships of speed, displacement and time. They capture the serve motion of a tennis player via video or digital camera and analyze the speed of the ball and racquet head.

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...

This activity gets at the heart of algebraic reasoning and setting up equations with one variable to solve real-world problems. The worksheet has only one problem, but it requires that learners first use their own reasoning...

Young scholars explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology instructional activity, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Young...

Learners demonstrate array models to illustrate division as sharing and grouping. They demonstrate the array models to compare division as sharing with division as grouping. Pupils explore division problems are typically seen as either...

Explore parametric equations in this lesson plan, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects...

Students explore weather instruments. In this weather instructional activity, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the instructional activity. Students set up a weather station using...

Your learners will dance in their seats as this talented drummer connects math to music in a short video clip. Clayton Cameron shows how math puts the "cool" in various genres of music, including jazz, hip-hop, pop,...

Pupils use a visual to introduce the Distributive Property. The lesson is chronologically numbered and follows a distinct plan. The class works with the teacher to complete the lesson. The plan is not written in a traditional way, but...

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, learners differentiate between rectangular prisms and cylinders. They use the correct formula to solve for each solid.

Students explore how to measure length and volume. They compare and order objects according to their measurable attributes and measure items using non-standard units. Students put 4 pencils in order from shortest to longest after...

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 5 frequency problems. In four of the problems, the frequency table is provided and students construct one relative frequency table, one cumulative frequency table, and two cumulative relative...

Explore the concept of ratios, unit rates, and proportions. Learners convert fractions and percents to decimals. They discuss rates and where they can be found in the real world. A hands-on experiment and numerous flash cards and...

Fourth graders compare two sets of data by using a double bar graph. In this data analysis lesson, 4th graders study a double bar graph and complete questions based upon the data. Students construct a table to show the data from the...

Students compare the differences in catching four different pieces of equipment. They, in groups, practice catching the items, and discuss which one was the easiest and hardest to catch, and graph their results.

Third graders explore the idea of formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Learners design a "dream house" and plan to install flooring, tile and other products that are bought by a certain measurement. Problem solving be used in determining how much of each product to use and the total cost of each installed.

Students count and keep track of objects using one-to-one correspondence. By moving, touching and pointing to objects they organize counting to determine the number in a set accurately. This helps students to practice the skill of...
